Description
A few months ago I stumbled on obra's superpowers repository https://github.com/obra/superpowers. I really liked the approach and idea that you enforce discipline for your agent through a skill-based workflow. Even though coding agents (copilot included) have become a lot better at natively handling complex tasks, they still wander off and lose track of things. I really liked how superpowers fixed this and how it enabled long-running sessions without the agent losing its "focus". So I decided to build a Copilot tailored skill suite around the core idea of superpowers. I didn't just want to port superpowers to Copilot, I took inspiration from it and improved on it. JDS enforces a strict think -> plan -> execute pipeline where nothing gets skipped. It leverages Copilot's built-in sql todo dependencies and provides a live task graph visualizer which helps visualize the agentic workflow and its parallelism. Curious whether others have tried similar approaches, and what's worked or not.

Could you build this?
Yes JDS is an open-source prompt and workflow skill suite for GitHub Copilot. It consists of structured markdown files, instructions, and prompt definitions to steer agent behavior, requiring no backend infrastructure or specialized code beyond effective prompt design.
